I could give tons of feedback, but i take you're looking for others(objective 3rd parties) to chime in. One thing to keep in mind is that you can also run rain tires on these rims. Not sure how much the law up there hassles riders about having treaded tires, but if they do you can run rain tires out on the streets.
I wouldn't go for a full afternoon of aggressive mountain riding in the summer heat on dry pavement cause you could 'cook' the rain ties to where they start to lose their grip. However, for just common riding around or even real aggressive riding in the rain they will do just fine. This has worked fine for me on several occasions anyway, so i can't see why it would be any different for others.
